The Bathing Garden haul #5

Hello again! 

Today I have the very last TBG wax order (I placed a sugar scrub order a week back, I'm in LOVE!) for the summer on my wax ban. I only ordered three clam shells and I got one free. I love Shannon's wax so much, and I have so much I haven't even started to melt one cube of yet! This wax ban really is helping me get through my wax. Here's my teeny order:

Good Morning: Holy crapola! This is by FAR the strongest coffee scent I have in my collection, and trust me I have a lot! SO AMAZING! This scent is actually the reason I chose to place this small order in the first place. I cannot wait to melt this on a Saturday morning!

Marshmallow Frosted Mango Tangerine: I've been desperately trying to find a tangerine/orange scent that I like, and I think this is the one! It's so creamy and sweet, like a dreamcicle. Really nice!

So pretty!

Serendipity Cream Pie: Of course I couldn't not order a clam shell of my favorite TBG scent! I have three clam shells of this scent now LOL! Can't get enough!

Strawberry Cheesecake (freebie): I love this scent so I'm excited that this was my freebie! 

She also included two little baggies of embeds as well, one smells like Honey I Washed The Kids and one smells like raspberry. 

Such beautiful creations!

Have a great day!

The Bathing Garden haul #5

Hello there!

This time I'm back with a very small haul from The Bathing Garden, but this is one of the best hauls I've gotten from Shannon YET! I was able to snag three scents I've been DYING to get my hands on, but they're always the ones that sell out first. I'm so glad I had fast little fingers this time around! ;) I think it's so sweet that although I only ordered three clam shells she still included a free one. Totally generous every time! Here's what I ordered - 

Strawberry Cheesecake: Really awesome strawberry scent! You get the freshness of strawberry on the top of the tart and the creaminess of the cheesecake on the bottom. I'm picky about my strawberry scents, but this one has won my heart! YUM!

Lemon Cheesecake: Oh, hello there, amazing lemon bakery scent! You're officially right up there with Carol's lemon bakery's as my all-time favorites! SO AMAZING! I now understand what all the hype is about! I am KICKING myself for only getting one. Why did I only get one?! *smacks forehead* Really tart, creamy scent. So awesome. 

As always, amazing little pieces of art!

Coconut Candy Apple (freebie): What a great freebie scent! I love winter candy apple scents, always have, so this is perfect for me! I don't get much coconut though, maybe it will come out more when melting.

Cheshire Cat: This is the one I was honestly the most excited about getting! It lived up to everything I had hoped it would be! The lemon in there, with th amazing raspberry scent on top - ON POINT. I could smell this all day! Can't wait to melt. I'll be needing about a dozen more, please and thank you. :p

So pretty!

Have a great day, all!

The Bathing Garden haul #4

Good Morning! 

I was so flipping excited when Shannon restocked after being gone for quite a while, that I ended up buying seven clamshells in my last order! Two are a favorite of mine that I repurchased, and five I just wanted to give a try! I really love everything in here so much, they're all GREAT summer scents! I can't wait till these bad boys cure. I hear I missed when she had her body scrubs which I've heard raves reviews about. I must try them next time they're around! Here's what I got!

Lavender & Apples: I normally am hit or miss with apple scents, so I was taking a risk ordering this one, but I LOVE it! The apple is soothing with the lavender, not overpowering. They blend perfectly. I can't wait to melt this at bedtime!

Pirate Punch: This is one I'd been wanting to try! I'm really into coconut scents right now with the weather getting warmer. I do get a little pineapple in there, but I get mostly a creamy coconut. This is really nice!

I love the art she puts into her wax! The wax apple and flower on these are too cute, and the glitter adds such sparkle. :)

Chic Summer: This is another I'd been wanting to try. This is SO STINKING GOOD! You get the peaches and strawberries blended perfectly! What a perfect summer fruity scent. Please hurry up and cure! ;)

Pink Sand: I almost got this one a while back, I didn't, and I regretted it. This was a sign! I love pink sugar and I love sun tan lotion scents. So mixed together?! Perfection. I can't think of a better after beach scent for here in Virginia Beach!

How seriously beautiful are these two tarts?! JUST LOOK AT EM! I love the little touches with the raspberry and shell, and all the types of glitters and crumbles.... she really doesn't have to put this much detail but it's just one of the things that makes her tarts so amazing!

Serendipity Cream Pie x2: This is one of my all time favorite scents and one of my favorite serendipity blends EVER. She only had two more in stock, and if she'd had more I would have bought more. Seriously amazing, people.

Summer Melon and Mint: OMG I'm so happy I added this one to my cart at the last minute! The fruits (melon, guava, mango, papaya, and strawberries) and mint are balance perfectly in this one. Perfection. I'll be reordering this again for sure.

Tea W/ Mango & Mint (freebie): I've been crazy into tea scents lately and this one is awesome! You get the tea note in there, along with the blend of mango and mint. It's really calming yet fruity. Really refreshing.

SOOOOOOOOO PRETTY!

Anyone else order recently from Shannon?

The Bathing Garden haul #3

Good morning!

Today I have my last order I placed from The Bathing Garden before shop got closed down for a while due to a family emergency. I since then have placed an order of about eight clam shells, but these are the two I ended with. When I ordered this she was offering a special cake clamshell for free for her birthday week. That didn't arrive, which I completely understand due to what she's going through. I did get two freebies, which is so generous since of her since there were only two that I wanted to order. (Everything else seemed to be floral-like spring scents which I'm not into.) Here's my teeny tiny haul! The bigger haul I'm posting this week, keep your eyes peeled! :)

Jack Frost: I couldn't pass up this peppermint and vanilla blend that I've heard so many good things about! I love to melt peppermint scents all year round, so this bad boy won't go wasted at all this spring! I love melting them at bedtime. Such a strong scent, LOVE IT!

Peach Hearts: What an awesome, fresh peach scent! The cheesecake adds a slight creaminess to it, but it still smells fresh as can be. I'm so excited to finally melt this one! 

Loo how pretty the iridescent glitter and the little poinsettia are!

Love the heart glitter she uses on some of her tarts!

Raspberry Hearts (freebie): This is the second time Shannon has scent this to me as a freebie, which is great since it smells amazing! Always glad to have more!

Top Layer Wildest Chick Tart (freebie): I think this little round tart with roses is a mixture of overpours. I can't place the scents exactly, I get a fruity scent - citrus/peach maybe? Smells pretty good!

I'm so happy Shannon is back around!

The Bathing Garden haul #2

Hello again!

Today I have another The Bathing Garden haul to share, my second actually! Jacqui and I sat up late stalking her site the night she did her restock and added her Easter scents - and it was a success indeed! I ended up scoring four  and I couldn't be happier with them off cold sniff. I really hate the patience that's needed to allow things to cure. It's really unfair. :p Let's check out what I got!

Blackberry Jame Butter Cookies: This one is just awesome. The butter cookie note is rich and, well, buttery! I love it! The blackberry jam adds such a sweet touch. I'm so happy that I decided to add this one on last minute. 

Blue & White Cake Pops: This is my favorite of the bunch! It's so stinkin' delicious! I normally don't go crazy over sugar cookie/cake scents but this just had that extra ooomph of the blue cotton candy. It's just sensational. I cannot WAIT till  this has cured and I melt it. YUM!

Look how adorable Blue & White Cake Pops is! I love the hearts she uses!

The deep purple of Blackberry Jam Butter Cookies and the glitter and graham cracker crumbs make this so yummy!

Serendipity Cream Pie: Coconut Cream Pie & Serendipity mixed together! This is such a nice blend. I love that she came out with two serendipity scents for Easter. I was sad that this broke into such awkward pieces while in the mail. That's okay it all gets melted in the end, right?

Pink Bunny Ears: Red velvet cake and serendipity?! YES, PLEASE! This is the one I knew I just had to have and boy was I right! What a genius combo! I cannot wait to get melting on this one.

So pretty, too bad it cracked. :P

Look how adorable that little bunny is! 

Raspberry Hearts (freebie): This one is GREAT! I'm so glad that she sent this one to me, I was debating it but I never seem to like raspberry. This is fate, because this is the first raspberry scent that I've fallen completely in love with! The raspberry isn't strong, there's a bakery/cinnamon note in there? I just cannot place my finger on it but I love it! So awesome.

Little pieces of artwork. 

Have a fun day!

The Bathing Garden haul(s) #1

Good morning!

I am REALLY excited to share my haul with you today! I had been drooling over the Bathing Garden ever since I first laid eyes on their tarts on YouTube videos. They were little pieces of art! Around Valentine's day she did a bit of a restock and I knew it was time to place on order! I placed my first, waited about a week, and more were listed! I placed yet another order and waited anxiously for them to arrive. They are everything I knew they'd be! Not to mention how full these were! They barely closed! :D Even better? She included TWO free clam shells, one with each order. I heard she said she wasn't doing free clam shells anymore. Then I saw she was  - but they were for bigger orders. I couldn't believe there were free ones in each order of only two! How generous!

Strawberry Hearts: Who can go wrong with strawberry cotton candy, marshmallow, and chocolate?! It's a match made in Heaven! This smells SO amazing! This is one of the really full ones! 

Guava Berry Gelato: This is one that Jacqui helped me pick out! This is just awesome! A very sweet berry scent that smells so fresh! 

How cute is this?! I love the chocolate drizzle, the red wax heart and the iridescent heart glitter!

Whose doesn't love flaky gold glitter?!

Vintage Circus: Now this is a fun blend! The bottom of this two-toned tart (pink) is Winter Candy Apple and the top (pink) is blue cotton candy. I can't wait to see how this melts!

Carrot Cake: This is just delicious! As I know I've said before, carrot cake is my favorite cake, so I'm always excited to try it in new scents! OMG this is so yummy with the cream cheese frosting scent on top! Smells perfect.

Close up of the two-toned color and glittery goodness!

It even looks delicious! Look at the little graham cracker crumbs!

Toffee Caramel Apple (freebie): I don't get much of a toffee scent in here, but MAN is this caramel apple scent to die for?! It's SO GOOD! This captures the crispness of the apple with the creaminess of the caramel perfect! 

Caramel Custard Praline(freebie): I love caramel praline scents and I love this one too! Only this time around it smells like straight popcorn! I'm not complaining since popcorn is one of my favorite snacks and I love popcorn scents. Really great!

I love the little wax doughnut & the graham cracker crumbs!

This time we have a caramel candy and graham cracker crumbs. YUM!

I have placed another order from her restock with Easter scents and I can't WAIT!
